Abstract:

Battery modeling is an excellent way to predict and optimize some batteries’ basic parameters like state of charge, battery lifetime and charge/discharge characteristic. Along with the development of batteries various battery models have been developed as well. Individual models differ in complexity, input parameters, available outputs and overall accuracy. This paper categorizes battery models according to various criteria such as approach methods, timescale of modeling or modeling levels. The overview is focused on practical use of individual models and their suitability for different areas of industries, like e-mobility, power engineering or information and communications technology. Finally, the criteria for choosing a suitable battery simulation model for various practical applications are summarized. Based on the overview stated in this paper, it can be noted that the best suited for usage in transport applications are electrochemical based models as well as equivalent circuit ones.
